India vs Australia 2018/2019 Preview

Much awaited India vs Australia Test series is starting on Dec 6th, before that 3 match T20 series has already completed.

My brief analysis on the just completed T20 series.
Series ended 1-1 with 2nd match abandoned due to rain in the second innings.
My reading was India were lucky to end the series 1-1 despite pathetic fielding performance. Field was one of the worst performance from India in the last few years, even with safe fielders like Kohli, Rohit dropping catches and mis-fielding.

Overall positive for India from the series was bowling of Kuldeep Yadav and batting of Shikar Dhawan, and Dinesh Karthick.

Bhuvi and Bumrah were below par which resulted Aus scoring runs in the end overs and making competitive total.

KL Rahul continue with his poor form and seems like not showing any indication to improve.

Rishab Pant seems like not learning from mistakes and his keeping continues to be poor.

On the overall India should have won this series easily instead of 1-1 against an Average Aus team who consisted primarily of hitters.

Test Series
Early indications of form suggest it will be difficult for India to go with KL Rahul as opener for India. India should fall back with M Vijay. Regarding wicket keeper - Rishabh Pant continues to be below average, and I would like India to go with Parhiv Patel who also has previous experience of Aus tour.

At this stage it seems like 3 seamers will be Shami, I Sharma and Bumrah.
Spinners - Kuldeep Yadav should play instead of Ashwin

Practice match is starting from tomorrow (Wed 28th) - and need to watch out for any the possible lineup from this match.
